New Flightradar24 ADS-B Receivers Activated in October 2018

Each month we send out complete ADS-B receiver kits that include an ADS-B receiver, antennas, and all necessary cabling to qualified hosts. You can apply to host one of our receivers or easily build your own. The dozens of new Flightradar24-supplied receiver kits and the hundreds of home-built receivers activated in October, combined with over 20,000 existing receivers, helped us track 5.6 million flights.

New receiver kits were installed in remote locations to help improve our coverage area and in locations with nearby receivers to increase our MLAT coverage. In places like Western Australia, Iraq, and Papua New Guinea new receivers are helping track more ADS-B equipped flights, while new receivers in western Canada and Mexico are increasing our MLAT coverage.

If you’d you like more information about our application process, you can read more about it in our blog post.
